K. Danse is a multimedia and contemporary dance company led by two choreographers, Jean-Marc Matos and Anne Holst who bring together a team of artists: dancers, video artists, programmers and composers for each new project. Their work is concerned with questioning digital technologies whilst focusing on issues of everyday contemporary life such as the borderlines between fiction and reality, and the social construction of the body. They make use of the latest digital technologies to create live interactive environments (reactive clothing, physiological sensors, optical tracking sensors, body sensors, on line internet performances, etc.). The choreographic approach of the K. Danse develops a contemporary movement language by the dialectic confrontation between the physical body (lived, experienced) and the visual body (seen, virtual).
They have choreographed more than 45 pieces which have been presented extensively in France and in many countries (Europe, Central and South America, USA, North Africa, India, Pakistan).http://www.k-danse.net/en/
